One of the artists below is in the Top 5 of the 1977 countdown this coming week. 1 C&C Music Factory 2 Simple Minds 3 Eurythmics 4 Andy Gibb 5 Exile 6 _________________ What is the missing act & what is the rare chart occurrence between 1970 & 2000 that only these artists accomplished? I figured out the theme, but I am not sure it applies to Simple Minds. Anyway, the missing act is the Average White Band (AWB). You are correct. These are artists whose first Top 40 single hit #1 & last Top 40 single peaked @ #40. "See the Lights" by Simple Minds peaked @ #40 in 1991. 3 other artists with #1 songs worth mentioning: Captain & Tenille - First & last Top 40 single hit #1. Yes - First & last Top 40 single peaked @ #40. CW McCall - first Top 40 single peaked @ #40 & last Top 40 single hit #1.

Ok so what's with the edit? No intro or outro to "My Heart Belongs To Me" and it faded right into "I'm In You". Did something happen to the original master so they made their own segment? Or is this going to be the new thing, edit Casey out completely???

The whole last segment was Casey free. Arrrgghhh!!! Now I'm going to have to try record the repeat tonight to see if I can get the last five songs with Casey!

<KC & The Sunshine Band. "Give It Up" was released as a solo effort but was recorded when The Sunshine Band still was in existence. >
Was "Give It Up" actually recorded with the regular members of the Sunshine Band (and not credited because KC split from them) or was it without them? What's the story on this? Just because it was recorded before the band broke up doesn't mean KC didn't go into the studio alone (with other musicians) and record a solo single?

Just because it was recorded before the band broke up doesn't mean KC didn't go into the studio alone (with other musicians) and record a solo single? The way I understand it was: The song was actually recorded in 1982, before KC & Richard Finch broke up the act they created. Aug 1983 "Give It Up" reaches #1 in UK by KC & The Sunshine Band. Epic Records refused to release the single in the US. KC formed his record label & released the single himself.
